Why did anti-big government Tea Party members align themselves with the pro-big government Republican Party?

Example?..........of course not. The party members are mostly middle class Americans.

Excuse me for a few minutes while I recover. The sooner the loons on the Left realize all that money in the pockets of the rich is not theirs to play with and redistribute the better this country will be. Plain and simple.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
